We tend to imagine it round, green and surrounded by a water so blue that no one dares to set a foot on it… We idealized it without dangerous animals, with something to build a hut, with some food and above all, with something something to keep us entertained. If you had to carry a single object to a desert island, which one would you take with you?
A mobile phone or a computer do not have eternal life, and soon the battery will die, so forget the technology. Where are you going to plug them in? Bad idea, so be realistic! Some people would take with them their cat, some a toothbrush, a mirror, others a boat to escape, a guitar, a bottle in which to write their S.O.S message, a photo, a book or even some tweezers! Everyday objects invade us via the media and advertising and we think that everything is very useful to us. Then we become accustomed to having them with us and when we forget them at home we lose our head. The novels, movies and TV characters have portrayed it for years: to live on a desert island is sheer suicide! You had better stay at home with your music, your bed, and your favourite objects.
Survivors Island, Koh Lanta, The Beach, Robinso Crusoe, Alone in the World, Lost, etc, are some of the fictions created by man and his imagination. But there are real things that will leave you open-mouthed: Do you know that Vatu Vara Island in Fiji is the most expensive in the world? It costs $ 75 million, almost 52 million euros. Giving a price to a piece of land, how does it work? Anyway, if you have enough money to buy it, your neighbour will be Mel Gibson, who owns Mago Island. Even the city of Valencia has created a project called ‘La Isla Luna Artificial’, a giant urban complex, like any big city but surrounded by water and with many leisure activities just like in a theme park. Meanwhile, the Balearic Islands are famous for their festive atmosphere and their wonderful beaches. Take advantage and go to Valencia on holiday! Enjoy its great parties and its beautiful beaches ; try the succulent paella, the horchata, and go cruising to Mallorca or Ibiza.
Now let’s be a little more realistic. Buy your ticket and take with you your favorite object and travel to Valencia to enjoy a real paradise. Rent apartments in Valencia and enjoy a day cruise to the Balearic Islands.
